Clean, reliable eCommerce accounting in Xero.

Why it matters
eCommerce accounting is harder than it looks.
Marketplaces like Amazon pay out in lump sums that bundle together sales, refunds, fees, advertising, taxes and reimbursements. Shopify, Walmart, eBay and TikTok Shop each report differently again. Recording that accurately in your accounting system, and reconciling it to what actually lands in the bank, quickly becomes a time-consuming, error-prone job.
We design and run an accounting setup built for eCommerce: a clean Xero chart of accounts, automated sales-channel data through A2X, inventory and cost of goods tracked properly, and a monthly process your team or accountant can rely on.
Signs you need Xero accounting consulting
- You’re moving to Xero or setting it up for a new business.
- Amazon or Shopify payouts don’t reconcile to your bank deposits.
- Marketplace fees, refunds and taxes are lumped together or miscategorized.
- You don’t trust your gross margin or cost of goods sold numbers.
- Month-end close takes too long and depends on spreadsheets.
- Your accountant spends hours cleaning up eCommerce transactions.

FAQ
Xero and A2X questions.
What is A2X?
A2X is third-party eCommerce accounting software. It takes payout data from sales channels such as Amazon and Shopify and creates summarized entries in Xero, broken down into sales, fees, refunds and taxes, so they reconcile to the deposits in your bank.
Why not just import every Amazon order into Xero?
Order-by-order imports clutter your books and still don’t match Amazon’s lump-sum payouts. A2X records one summarized entry per settlement period, which is cleaner and much easier to reconcile.
Can A2X handle cost of goods sold?
Yes. When product costs are loaded into A2X, it can post cost of goods sold entries automatically, giving you more accurate gross margins.
Which sales channels can you connect?
A2X supports channels including Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, eBay, Etsy, TikTok Shop and PayPal. We set up and map each channel you sell on.
Do you replace our accountant?
No. We focus on implementing and running the systems and processes. Your accountant or CPA remains responsible for tax filings and financial statements, and benefits from cleaner books.
